Deep Internet Roots

As a second generation internet marketing firm, AudetteMedia was born and bred online. With roots back to 1995, when AudetteMedia SVP John Audette launched Multimedia Marketing Group (one of the Web’s first interactive agencies), the AudetteMedia team has consistently delivered sophisticated and successful online marketing campaigns. We’re the real thing, having been here from the early days.

Our team of professionals has combined experience in internet marketing of over 35 years:

Management

Adam Audette - President & Chief Strategist

Adam, one of the worlds leading SEO strategists, got his start in 1996 by working for Multimedia Marketing Group (MMG). MMG was one of the first and one of the largest online marketing agencies, with clients such as NY Times, Intel, IBM, Art.com, and Microsoft. Since then he’s worked with dozens of small businesses and many enterprise corporations developing marketing and community strategies, including Zappos (where he is a lead SEO Strategist), Microsoft (MSN), Intel, Travelocity and JELD-WEN. In addition, he is a Senior SEO Strategist to an undisclosed international digital agency.

Adam is a big believer in giving back to the marketing community. To that end, he’s active publishing and moderating several industry lists and blogs. He’s been publisher of the LED Digest, an old-school discussion list for Internet marketing and SEO, since 1997. He also moderates the SEM 2.0 group and is active on many industry sites.

Adam brings creative thinking and a broad, strategic view to AudetteMedia. You can find out more about Adam Audette at his dedicated page.

 

John Audette - Sr. Vice President, Operations & Finance

John literally helped define the concepts of Internet marketing and SEO. A true Internet pioneer, John founded one of the first interactive agencies, Multimedia Marketing Group (MMG) in 1995; started the Internet News Bureau, one of the first online press release services on the Web in the mid-1990s; and published the I-Sales Discussion list, an institution that grew into Adventive. As an Internet marketing pioneer, John brings unique and unrivaled experience, insight and perspective to AudetteMedia. But we have him focus mainly on the business stuff to keep him out of mischief. Additional background.

Ben Goodsell - SEO Technician

Ben is innovative and smart - and he also has the patience required to do the hard work that’s required to implement effective Internet marketing. The brains and the brawn behind much of our client reporting, Ben is usually running two computers simultaneously. He demonstrates the AudetteMedia core value that we call “Passion & Enterprise”. And his continual sipping of yerba mate keeps him going for hours on end, much to our clients’ benefit.

 

Bend, Oregon: Internet Marketing Epicenter (Really)

AudetteMedia is located in Bend, Oregon USA, one of the worlds hot-beds of internet marketing since Multimedia Marketing Group moved here from Portland, Oregon in 1997. Bend is a beautiful high desert town and we love it here. In addition to working (too much), we play on the Deschutes River, go skiing and snowboarding at Mt. Bachelor, ride our bikes at Phil’s Trail and beyond, and drive our Porsches on the great back-roads of Central Oregon. After we’re done playing, we gather together at the Deschutes Pub for a beer.

Bend is a fabulous place to live. Loving where we live and loving where we work creates the perfect environment for the kind of work that we do. The mountain range in silhouette on this site is an image of the Three Sisters, a few of the many peaks visible from town. They bring to mind integrity, strength, and longevity. These are qualities we strive to represent as a company.
